Raining Blood

"Lord Igarrd I have wonderful news, the base material and the shepherd have joined the expedition as planned. They are currently waiting at the inn at the edge of reality." "Good, good squib I knew I could put you up to the task , we will get our hands on that filthy goddess loving shepherd we will break her and use the remaining materials to improve our base to create my own goddess, one we can control." 'Those stupid humans why did the great spirit favor those weakling why did she grant them spiritual magic, I found and mastered the flow of the abyss to control the natural elements SO WHY DID SHE CHOOSE THEM' "WE ARE PERFECTED WHY DOES SHE KEEP PROTECTING THEM!" Continually huffing as he raged Igarrd thoroughly destroyed the lab he was in as squib the elf dodged the flasks and scalpels that came flying his way. "Lord Igarrd please calm the materials should be making it to the ambush site, you'll be able to dissect the shepherd and get her core now that we know where it is from the last one." Sweating as he sits down in his chair "yes your right I shouldn't be taking my rage out the equipment, it has to be ready for her…"

The bent pines creaked under the blood red moon, the campsite was empty save for a 12 year old girl left alone hyperventilating the tent she was resting in was ruined exposing her to the blood that fell from the sky. As she passed out the blood continued falling coating everything in red, turning the dirt into a dark and sticky sludge it even coated the young girls pure white hair dying it a dark red. She coughs and sputters wiping the sticky hair from her face disorientedly she sits up and looks around ' Where am I where's Meri what happened to everyone' she thinks while getting up. looking around all she sees are ruined tents, walking up to another ruined tent Krim looks in and has to hold back desperately to not puke at the sight of what could only be one of the guards posted to the expedition, his body stinking of dark corrupted magic he was turned inside out bits of his armor was magically fused to his skeleton but what pushed krim to utter despair was she heard his feeble rasping breath "h…lp …ee" as it turned its skull and locked its hollow eyes on krim's. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" shrieking krim runs away in a panic out of the clearing and into the bent pines around her 'what happened oh my Luceria what happened I have to get out of her-' oof the mud that was forming around krim as she ran eventually got soaked with enough blood that a deep mire started forming swallowing up her feet and tripping her face first into the bloody muck, pushing herself up she thinks 'why is this happening' muttering [Guiding flame of Luceria, Sacred Torch] a small orange flame leading to a pure white tip illuminates the area around her and with her new unsettling calmness she looks around ' ok so I'm still in the forest although still deep in the maw for the clearing is nowhere in sight, hmmm ok so based on those facts the abomination is still hunting me too and it's damned magic is awful, who makes it rain blood demons.' "Krimheild where are you it's meriune " came a yell from deeper in the forest, without thinking she got back up and continued running towards the voice.
